Question

9.3.2 quiz: magnetism
question 2 of 10
what type of magnetism is present in a paper clip when it is attracted to a nearby bar magnet?
a. induced
b. contact
c. superconducting
d. permanent

Explanation:

When a paper - clip (a ferromagnetic material) is near a bar magnet, the magnetic domains in the paper - clip align due to the external magnetic field of the bar magnet. This creates an induced magnetic field in the paper - clip, causing it to be attracted. Contact magnetism is not a standard type in this context. Superconducting magnetism is related to superconductors (which a paper - clip is not). Permanent magnetism implies the paper - clip would always be magnetic, but it loses magnetism when the bar magnet is removed.

Answer:

A. Induced
